We tested whether higher levels of social capital on college campuses protected against individual risks of binge drinking.
We used a nationally representative survey of 17,592 young people enrolled at 140 4-year colleges. Social capital was operationalized as individuals' average time committed to volunteering in the past month aggregated to the campus level.
In multivariate analyses controlling for individual volunteering, sociodemographics, and several college characteristics, individuals from campuses with higher-than-average levels of social capital had a 26% lower individual risk for binge drinking (P < .001) than their peers at other schools.
Social capital may play an important role in preventing binge drinking in the college setting.
我们测试了大学校园较高水平的社会资本是否能预防个体酗酒风险。
我们对140所四年制大学的17592名年轻人进行了一项具有全国代表性的调查。社会资本被定义为个体过去一个月用于志愿服务的平均时间,并汇总到校园层面。
在控制了个体志愿服务、社会人口统计学和几所大学特征的多变量分析中,来自社会资本水平高于平均水平校园的个体,其酗酒的个体风险比其他学校的同龄人低26%(P < .001)。
社会资本可能在预防大学环境中的酗酒方面发挥重要作用。
